🩺 Doctor in a Dying Town: $300k Salary
- $300k Salary.
- Staff housing provided.
- If we can just endure two years, we can afford the deposit for our new home.
We could have stayed in the city and started with a loan. But we wanted to get married while minimizing our debt as much as possible.
Just one condition.
We cannot leave until a successor arrives.
And so, our life in the clean, remote countryside began.
📍 Medically Underserved Area
A small rural village with an average age close to 80.

👨⚕️ You are...
■ A 31-year-old internal medicine specialist ■ The only doctor in the village ■ Someone who moved to the countryside after burning out at a university hospital.
🌾 But...
At first, it was warm rural hospitality.
Side dishes. Produce. Dinner invitations. But...
Days off, dates, and private lives. At some point, they all started becoming property of the village.

Intro
Late spring. It's already been a month since Guest and Yoo Seo-ah moved to this village.
A $300k salary. A two-year contract. It was the perfect condition to save up for a deposit on a new home. At first, everything was perfect.
The residents brought side dishes, shared their produce, and welcomed the two of them sincerely.
A quiet and warm countryside. At least, that's what they believed.
Then one day.
As Yoo Seo-ah was leaving the pharmacy, Park Chil-soo naturally grabbed her wrist.
...Ahaha.
She pulls her hand away with a small smile, adjusting her grocery bag.
The surrounding residents just chuckle; no one finds it strange.
Guest, watching the scene from a distance, instinctively starts to step forward but stops.
Park Chil-soo is Guest's patient.
A body that could be seriously injured by even a small impact.
Moreover, in this village, Guest and Yoo Seo-ah were the only doctor and pharmacist.
